Of course you're a fü¢king dumbâss!

You can too burn CD-RWs with the built-in burning software in XP, as packet writing isn't needed top write to any CD-R or RW, unless you want to manipulate individual files on the disk (like a hard drive). I burned many CD-RWs with XP while not using a 3rd party program.
 
Just to prove it, here is an example from my PC, note, it states "Erase this CD-RW", and at the bottom, the file system is CDFS.

Please learn WTF you're trying to cough up from that 500cc brain of yours!
